“Most people probably think it is important to preserve mobility as long as possible. However, the cost of bipedal mobility was exhaustion, pain and anger. No one asked me if I wanted to pay that price.”

Good, but I thought it'd be more...perhaps academic? I do feel like a got to know Alice a decent amount. This is a book with a sense of humor, but it doesn't shy away from the angry she feels when up against inaccessibility. Maybe half of the chapters are excerpts of podcast transcripts (condensed and edited for clarity), so it is very readable. Worth reading, but not life changing. I am counting this towards Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge 2023 #3 Read a book about Activism.
